The competition begins with “pound up” on Thursday, July 9  when the sculptors build and fill their forms.  Once their forms are filled and the sculptor feels they are solidly packed, they may remove their forms and begin to carve.

Gates open to the public to watch the sculptors carving starting Friday, July 10, at 2:00pm.

Judging will take place on Sunday, July 13, from 3:00-4:30pm and the winners will be announced on-site at approximately 5:00pm.

The gated exhibition will remain open to the public from 9:30am to 8:30pm daily Monday, July 13 – Sunday, August 16. During the exhibition visitors are invited to vote for their favourite sculpture deciding who takes the “People’s Choice Award”.

Entry to the exhibition is by a suggested donation of $5.00 per person.

Proceeds from your donation support several local non-profit organizations with approximately $75,000 per year being donated back to these volunteer community groups.
